Number one for me is not hugging people. It should be slowly relaxed, if at all.
A close second is not having to visit the family.
Shaking hands. Never liked it.

Definitely table service. When the service was good, it was great. However it was horrible when the service was poor.
I still miss lockdown 1. It was obviously an uncertain stage of life at the time. But thinking back now....
Time with family, Furlough, The weather was unreal, Drinking tins in the garden on a Tuesday in 22 degrees heat, Diesel was £0.99 and the car only needed filled once ever 6 weeks, Having 6 weeks to paint a fence instead of the usual cramming it over a couple of Saturday's, Time to reflect on certain things, Getting things round the house sorted that we had been putting off for months, getting excited about a replay of an old GAA classic every Sunday, Not having to set an alarm, Having a bit more time to go for walks/runs/get fit.
1st Lockdown was a novelty especially with the unreal weather, everything afterwards was just horrible.

Disagree strongly. I know you're probably on about the bigger venues where you would normally have to stand an age at the bar but I'm small local pub kind of man. Love standing/sitting at the bar drinking a pint. The sitting down on lower tables with table service just wasn't the same.
Sex bubbles.

Likely depends on bar. In a city so no interest in talking to half the ones come through the door - in the country would be a different matter.
Having the train to myself for the commute.

I concur, my bus and train journeys during the first lockdown.

Both of you take a shower and some breadth mints and stop blaming everything on the pandemic.
